90-03: Operating Feedback of French Cooling Towers Civil Work and Equipment MiscellaneousAs the owner of twenty six natural draught wet cooling towers, EDF has set up a specific organization aimed at monitoring the evolution of civil works and equipment. The subject of this presentation is to explain EDF's operating feedback and the problems encountered, and to describe the methods used and the studies carried out. The main concerns are the behavior of the shell, the availability during winter periods and the ageing of the heat exchange

Lab data will be presented

Their work examines some typical examples of commercial enhanced tubing and discusses some of the shortcomings observed when enhanced heat exchanger tubing is removed from service

The work involved demolition of the severely degraded crossflow cooling heat exchange system and installing an all new composite fiberglass support structure
